\u201cCancer transformed me from a fearful, insecure woman into a survivor and a leader. Before my diagnosis, I was timid. Today, I feel the fear and still move forward, anywhere and everywhere. Early detection saves lives. Self-examination matters, and timely screening can mean less aggressive treatment and better outcomes,\u201d said actress activist and breast cancer survivor Nadia Jamil.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for a platform like LADIESFUND to share my journey as a breast cancer survivor. Turning my pain into purpose means helping other women feel seen, supported, and never alone,\u201d said breast cancer survivor Lishiana Arslan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a very meaningful session. I have always feared the word cancer – my father had it, my mother had it, and now my daughter has faced it too. That is why I truly believe early detection is vital. Its importance cannot be overstated. Please raise awareness within your own homes talk to your sons and daughters about breast health and timely screening. In the end, I would like to sincerely appreciate Chughtai Lab and LADIESFUND for their efforts in spreading awareness and saving lives,\u201d said Nusrat Jamil.<\/p>\n
